What can infants hear? What are their reactions to music? Is it useful for them to sing and listen to music? Is their auditory sensitivity developed before their birth? At what age do they start singing, and clapping their hands? How can their musical development be improved?

It is now necessary and urgent to sketch a developmental profile of infants, starting from their earliest manifestations.
